VDE

The abbreviation VDE stands for the Association of German Electrical Engineers, which was founded in 1893 and is now known as the Technical and Scientific Association for Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Information Technology (Technisch Wissenschaftlicher Verband der Elektrotechnik Elektronik Informationstechnik e. V.). The association awards the VDE mark—a certification mark for safety and compliance with standards. More specifically, it addresses electrical, mechanical, thermal, and other hazards associated with electrical products. In addition, the VDE is a certification body authorized to award the European safety marks ENEC and ENEC+. The latter attests to the credibility of product data and reliable operation. The VDE’s national identification number is 10. The VDE is one of Europe’s largest associations in the electrical engineering sector and is headquartered in Frankfurt am Main. Since lighting fixtures and light sources are also electronic products, the VDE is consequently one of the most important testing institutes in this industry as well.
